So it seems like what they may be painting ‘more red but different’ may be Saim-Hann Wild Rider jetbikes right? Pretty cut and dry right? Maybe not, maybe so, but let’s roll the runes and think this one out folks!

What the heck is Codex Eldar: Craftworlds anyways? Will it be a new codex entirely OR a supplement to make different versions of Eldar like the Iyanden book was?

I only ask because there was a precedent for this – there was the old codex of the same name from 3rd Edition that gave rules for playing armies of Biel Tan, Ulthwe, and you guessed it Saim-Hann Wild Riders. Back then Codex Eldar: Craftworlds was not just generic DIY Eldar builds (that was a separate base codex release before the one pictured above).

Now let’s look at the rumors before the release list broke;

Lords of War (Facebook) who says:

“-Lords of War Gaming Yes. After Admech it will be codex Craftworld: Eldar. Plastic jetbikes and Artach.”

Eldar will receive new miniatures releases this year, but probably not a new codex.
Eldar will be part of one of the year’s two 40K campaign sets.

Well that IS interesting, the release list seems to check out from two separate sources, BUT one goes on to clarify that the Eldar may not get a ‘new codex’.

So what will Codex Eldar: Craftworlds be? Will it be a full new codex, a supplement like Iyanden, a full ‘Daemonkin’ style book with options for existing units AND ways to field them in specific craftworld configurations (like the old codex of the same name), or none of the above?

Wow someone must have activated a filp belt because I don’t know which was is up anymore when it comes to the Eldar, do YOU?
